In complex societies, individuals' roles are reflected by interactions with other conspecifics.
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) generally change tasks as they age, but developmental …

The societies of honeybees (Apis spp.) are microcosms of divided labour where the fitness
interests of individuals are so closely aligned that, in some contexts, the colony behaves as …

Honey bees represent an iconic model animal for studying the underlying mechanisms
affecting advanced sensory and cognitive abilities during communication among colony …

Although social learning capabilities are taxonomically widespread, demonstrating that
freely interacting animals (whether wild or captive) rely on social learning has proved …

Pollinators are declining globally, with climate change implicated as an important driver.
Climate change can induce phenological shifts and reduce floral resources for pollinators …

Honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies use a unique collective foraging system, the waggle
dance, to communicate and process the location of resources. Here, we present a means to …

The waggle dances of honeybees are a strikingly complex form of animal communication
that underlie the collective foraging behaviour of colonies. The mechanisms by which bees …

Collective behaviour by eusocial insect colonies is typically achieved through multiple
communication networks that produce complex behaviour at the group level but often …

Real-world complex networks are usually being modeled as graphs. The concept of graphs
assumes that the relations within the network are binary (for instance, between pairs of …

Acquiring resources for self-maintenance and reproduction is a key challenge for wild
animals, and the methods that individuals employ are, in part, shaped by environmental …
